"A beautifully fresh 1er cru with irresistible aromatic complexity!"
"What a gorgeous nose of candied citrus and pineapple, with exceptional concentration and vitality, on an intensely chalky, salty palate that has wonderful balance, and a long, graceful finish. Fermented and aged 80% in stainless steel tanks and 20% in used oak barrels. Drink it or cellar it. (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:
All the typicality of the appellation is summed up in this straightforward, precise 1ercru. Its pale gold color with green highlights is a first sign. The nose combines exotic fruits with a slightly smoky, vegetal background. The palate, full-bodied and citrus-dominated, rests on a lively, taut mineral framework. Harmony from start to finish. 2028-2033
